Do Top Business Leaders Make Good Governors? a Regression Discontinuity Design
1 Paper Presented for 5th Annual Public Finance Consortium— “Politics and Administration in Public Finance” School of Public and Environmental Affairs Indiana University, Bloomington Do Top Business Leaders Make Good Governors? A Regression Discontinuity Design Can Chen, PhD Associate Professor Andrew Young School of Policy Studies Georgia State University Boyuan Zhao PhD Candidate Department of Public Policy and Administration Florida International University Please do not cite this paper without the authors’ permission. 1 2 INTRODUCTION Recently, a growing number of politicians with prominent business backgrounds are joining the battlefield of politics, running for key positions in offices. Donald Trump is the most recent example of a U.S. president who has constructed his own successful business empire before his political life. At state level, successful business figures have turned into politics and won governorship in different states. For example, Rick Scott, the 45th governor of Florida, was the owner of Hospital Corporation of America and a venture capitalist, and Kevin Stitt, current governor of Oklahoma, was the founder, chairman and CEO of Gateway Mortgage Group. These candidates have successful executive experience as business leaders, while many of them have little or no experience in public offices prior to their governor tenure. Their professional career path distinctively contrasts with “conventional” career politicians who typically hold law degrees, start their career from legal affair positions, and climb up the political ladder gradually. State governors are key actors in the budgeting process of the states. Governors are responsible for budget development and recommendation, in which promote their policy preference. Besides, they have line-item veto power on the state budget.

October 21, 2016 The Honorable Peter Shumlin Governor of Vermont 109 State Street, Pavilion Building Montpelier, VT 05609 Al Gobeille, Chair Green Mountain Care Board 89 Main Street Montpelier, VT 05020 Dear Governor Shumlin and Chairman Gobeille, Bi-State Primary Care Association and its membership of Vermont federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) stand ready to support an all-payer waiver for Vermont and contribute to its success. We appreciate the tireless dedication you and your teams brought to this effort, and we’re proud of Vermont’s ongoing tradition of being a national leader in health care initiatives. As you know, the State of Vermont and Vermont’s Congressional delegation have worked together to expand the footprint of federally qualified health centers in Vermont. In 2005, the legislature set a goal to establish an FQHC in each county of the state. With commitment from the state and federal investment through the Affordable Care Act, FQHCs currently provide care to 1 in 4 Vermonters at 60 sites around the state. We see the APW as an opportunity to build on this strategic investment, adding capacity to the Vermont FQHCs to increase patient access, and expand on their successful comprehensive model of care. More importantly, FQHCs continue to assess needs in their communities and expand services and access to meet community needs in a cost-effective way. A recent national study found FQHCs had 24 percent lower total cost of care per Medicaid patient when compared to other providers. (Nocon, et. al., 2016 “Health Care Use and Spending for Medicaid Enrollees in Federally Qualified Health Centers versus Other Primary Care Settings.” American Journal of Public Health, 106(11).) Further, the study found health center Medicaid patients had lower spending on specialty and inpatient care and fewer inpatient admissions.

“Segregation Or Sterilization”: Eugenics in the 1912 Vermont State Legislative Session
“Segregation or Sterilization”: Eugenics in the 1912 Vermont State Legislative Session In his farewell address to the Vermont legislature in 1912, Governor John A. Mead endorsed for the first time a eugenical policy to address a longstanding fear of an increase in “degeneracy” in the state. Under the new theory of eugenics, socioeconomic status, physical and mental ability, and mental health officially became a question of heredity. By Mercedes de Guardiola n October 3, 1912, Vermont Governor John A. Mead (1910– 1912) addressed the Vermont Legislature in his farewell speech. Mead advocated that one subject in particular war- ranted additional attention: “Our Degenerates,” which, according to him, had “never received special attention by the legislature of our state.”1 The governor’s call for a eugenical solution to the problem of “Our Degenerates” marked a defining moment for the eugenics move- ment in Vermont. It was the first time a state official had publicly pro- posed eugenics as an answer to a growing number of perceived social . Mercedes de Guardiola is an independent researcher. She received her B.A. in History and Art History from Dartmouth College, where she wrote her thesis on the history of eugenics in Vermont.

Although it drew on the growing international move- ment, it also built upon local institutional forays into the question of the role of heredity in social issues. The promotion of eugenics led the state toward a path of punitive social welfare during a period when the state government struggled to address a growing number of problems brought on by social upheaval and industrialization.

Presentation Center Team Director: Alistair Taylor ROADMAP
Freshmen elected in 2016 New governors and members of the House and Senate February 23, 2017 Producer: Presentation Center Team Director: Alistair Taylor ROADMAP Roadmap Freshmen governors (7) Freshmen senators (7) Freshmen representatives (58) JOHN CARNEY Gov. John Carney Biography John Carney was born in 1956 in Wilmington, DE. Carney, elected to succeed nine-term Republican Rep. Michael Castle in 2010, is a centrist Democrat with an unusual devotion to bipartisanship. Not long after taking office, he co-founded a policy group of Democrats and Republicans to discuss finding common ground, which has gotten some results. Carney has lived in Wilmington for most of his life, and spent nearly his entire adult life in public office, except for brief stints as president and chief operating officer of Transformative Technologies, a Delaware green technology firm, and as executive vice president of a wind farm start-up called DelaWind. After getting a degree in English at Dartmouth College and a master’s degree in public administration at the University of Delaware, Carney went to work as an aide to Joe Biden, then a senator. Carney was also the state secretary of finance under Carper from 1997 to 2000. In 2000, he won the first of two terms as Delaware’s lieutenant governor. Carney later ran for the at-large seat in the House and prevailed with 57% of the vote, a rare instance of a Democrat seizing Republican territory in the GOP-friendly year of 2010. Carney was assigned to the Financial Services Committee and struck up a friendship with fellow freshman James Renacci, a Republican from Ohio.

Trustees and Servants”: Government Accountability in Early Vermont
“TRUSTEES AND SERVANTS”: GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY IN EARLY VERMONT Peter R. Teachout*† [A]ll power being originally inherent in, and consequently, derived from, the people; therefore, all officers of government, whether legislative or executive, are their trustees and servants, and at all times accountable to them. Vermont Constitution of 1777, chapter I, section V INTRODUCTION A statewide newspaper requests copies of the governor’s daily meeting schedule in an effort to discover and make public a list of those with whom the governor is meeting.1 The governor’s office resists the request, arguing that disclosure of the governor’s schedule would violate executive privilege and pose a security threat.2 A television station refuses to turn over to law- enforcement officials tapes of a campus riot on the grounds that doing so would interfere with the ability of the press to collect and report stories of public importance.3 After the governor announces plans to run for President, a conservative watchdog organization seeks access to the governor’s official papers, which have been donated to the state archives under an agreement requiring that they remain sealed for ten years.4 Is the agreement consistent with the state’s public records law?5 A reporter refuses to turn over notes taken at a public meeting that are being sought by a plaintiff in a civil action to support the plaintiff’s claim that a local governmental body’s hiring decision was based impermissibly on age discrimination.6 Notwithstanding the state’s open meeting law,7 * Professor of Law, Vermont Law School; M.A.

Direct Democracy to the Impact of Progressive Politics
THE VERMONT DIFFERENCE: DIRECT DEMOCRACY TO THE IMPACT OF PROGRESSIVE POLITICS by Colleen R. Jackson A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of the Master of Arts in Government Baltimore, Maryland May, 2021 © 2021 Colleen R. Jackson All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The Vermont political environment is home to three, frequently lauded, unique attributes that separates it from other states. This thesis investigates why and how Vermont sees such a prevalence in split ticket voting, how the most successful third party in the country, the Vermont Progressive Party, has been able to establish and maintain success in Vermont for the last forty years, and investigates of the current state, successes, failures, and future of direct democracy in Vermont’s town meetings. The thesis then asks whether each of these elements is replicable outside of the Vermont political environment and what the implications are for expansion of these attributes to other states and nationwide. The research uses a range of methodologies: an IVR survey and in-depth follow up interviews for split ticket voters, in-depth interviews of members of the Vermont Progressive Party, and an online survey of Vermont town clerks. This thesis finds that split ticket voters in Vermont point to a number of reasons for splitting their ticket, most prominently, however, it is due to the close connection that Vermonters feel to their political representatives which can transcend party label. The Progressive Party’s success is largely due to Bernie Sanders’ proof of concept when he became mayor of Burlington, VT, in addition to community-building organization techniques, and a legislative environment that does not overly hinder third party candidates and parties.
